At Hot Tubs Omarama the dream has become a reality after four years of planning, gaining consents and creating the rocky landscape for the private hot tubs Lance and Jan Thomas are wowing visitors and locals alike with their healthy Spa complex on State Highway 8 in Omarama.

Â Day or night you can soak in a private outdoor Hot Tub filled with fresh mountain water, no chemicals are added and you adjust the temperature to suit yourself, hot in winter and cooler in summer. The tubs are cleaned and refilled with fresh water after each use, used water is irrigated onto the land. Take some time out enjoy the views across the man made lake surrounded by glistening snow tussocks and beautiful rock features.

Â Hot Tubs Omarama is the perfect place to spring a surprise on someone you love or get away with a group of friends to unwind. During the day enjoy the stunning mountain views or by night lay back and breath in the magic starscape of the milky way laid out above you, this is relaxation at its best. A soak in a hot tub will warm you all the way through. If you have worked or played hard a hot tub will melt the lactic acid out of your muscles and ease your aching body. The kiwi version of a Japanese Onsen is the perfect way to unwind.

Recently visited with my wife, it was a really cool experience. Found the self-regulation of the pools a small nuisance as you had to get out to adjust the temp.. But other than that it was great and staff very friendly.

We loved it here, the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. Would recommend for the atmosphere! Maybe a little pricey but that's just my opinion. :)

Loved this place the tubs are very neat to sit in especially on a very cold snowy day. Service from the staff was very professional and helpful possibly a little hot for kids we actually had to keep getting out so the temperature regulation was a little average.

Omarama is in North Otago,not the Mackenzie or Canterbury as some people think.If in doubt,ask a local.Information centres should atleast know where they are would be a good start.

Awesome. You must visit here. Although we nearly missed it as we had looked for hot pools on this site and Omarama is listed here as being in Canterbury. Its actually in Otago !!

This is a truly unique experience, unlike ANY other. Totally private outdoor tubs in the most beautiful setting. The tubs are cleaned AFTER EACH use, so the water is pristine and just for you. Compare the price with other similar operations and you will be so surprised. Lovely friendly service.
